The rear garden is private, being enclosed by conifer hedges and trees, and has a raised lawn with sleeper edges, shrubs, a young palm, a paved patio and outside light points.

Merley offers local shops, a health practice, a First School and a church, and bus services run to the coastal towns of Poole and Bournemouth, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo. Schools for all ages, including grammar schools, are easily accessible, and Wimborne town centre provides a wide range of amenities.
